A Crypto-Friendly Fed Chair?

[tradelikepro]

If Kevin Hassett becomes the next Chair of the Federal Reserve, it could mark a major shift in crypto sentiment. Hassett is widely seen as crypto-friendly, holding a significant personal investment in Coinbase and openly criticizing the Fed’s high-rate stance.

Lower interest rates historically boost crypto markets, and Hassett has hinted that current policy is too restrictive. With Trump calling Powell “grossly incompetent” and signaling change, a new rate environment may be approaching.

While the Fed doesn’t directly regulate crypto, its influence over liquidity, banking relationships, and economic confidence could dramatically shape digital asset markets in 2026 and beyond.
